Never Louder Than Lovely

Never Louder Than Lovely plays in the new ground between a band and a dj. Their sound spans moody songwriter acoustic guitars to goliath synths sounds of deep house music. NLTL taps into those innocently sweet synthetic pop grooves reminescent of the mid 80's era of Molly Ringwald, and catapults us into into the new millenium, mixing in a little drum and bass narrated through slacker-generation- influenced love poetry.
NLTL's live shows put writer/player Tom Nishioka in front of the mic with an acoustic guitar, triggering a wall of synths and sequencers with any spare body part he has free at the time. His icing on cake vocals and dynamic beat-scapes take crowds through a journey comparable to NYC's best DJ's, while retaining the intimacy of a solo performer.
